Pavlovsk

This is a superb palace of the late 18th — beginning of the 19th centuries which was used as a summer residence of the Russian Emperor Paul the First and his family.

Landscape park, one of the largest in Europe, covers the area of 600 ha.

The formation of the collection of the Pavlovsky Palace was closely connected with the trip of its owners over Europe in 1781–1782.

They visited workshops of well-known artists, ordering and acquiring paintings, furniture, bronze articles, silk fabrics, china sets etc.
